Common Questions About Gummy Smile Treatment

How long does gummy smile treatment take to complete?

Your gummy smile treatment typically takes less than one hour to complete in a single office visit. Our periodontist uses specialized surgical techniques that are both efficient and precise. You'll see improvements in your smile's appearance as the healing progresses over the following days. Most patients are surprised by how straightforward the entire process is from consultation to completion.

How long is the recovery period after gummy smile treatment?

Your recovery generally takes about one to two weeks, with most visible healing occurring in the first several days. We recommend taking it easy for 24-48 hours after your procedure to allow initial healing to begin properly. Most patients find they can return to work within a day or two, with some minor adjustments to eating habits during the healing period. Your periodontist will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure optimal results.

Can anyone get gummy smile treatment?

You're likely a good candidate if you have excess gum tissue that shows when you smile or if your teeth appear short due to gum coverage. Your periodontist will perform a comprehensive exam of your oral health to determine if this treatment is right for you. Some health conditions or medications might affect your eligibility, which we'll discuss during your consultation. Most healthy adults with good oral hygiene practices make excellent candidates for this transformative procedure.
